This was in the Philly Inquirer yesterday. It would be funny if it weren’t so tragic.
Things turned violent in a Montgomery County home during a televised debate between candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
It ended with Obama supporter Sean Shurelds being taken to Hahnemann Hospital with stab wounds that were allegedly inflicted by his brother-in-law, Clinton backer Jose Ortiz.
“Mr. Shurelds was complaining that Clinton was trashing Obama,” said Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman. “Ortiz said that Barack was not a realist.”
Ferman said that, last Thursday, Shurelds started choking Ortiz from behind in a Collegeville home during the debate, which was being held in Texas. At some point, she said, Ortiz grabbed a kitchen knife and plunged it into Shurelds’ stomach.
Thank God my family couldn’t give a damn, because I would be on the floor, struggling for the knife, probably arguing a point I only half believed.
